As another said dry socket would be the first thing to think of. That is why one is supposed to swish with a saline solution here and there afterwards.
As others have said you simply MUST go to the emergency room. You could call your dentist and demand an appointment NOW as this may help you when you go to the emergency room. As I write this it is almost 3 PM on the east coast so anywhere you are you should get in. He or she could get you seen faster.
Regardless go to the hospital even if you have no insurance. The things that could happen if you don't are many...... you could actually die or be disfigured. Might be nothing and easily taken care of but why take the chance? Go to the emergency room NOW!

It sounds like you got an infection and you need to get to the ER NOW!
You can lose nerve function in your face (facial droop) if you don't!
Read the instructions they sent you home with and you will see they say to get to a Doctor if redness or swelling happens.

Sounds like dry socket. What that means is the area got very dry and it has possibly made it infected. See your dentist right away.
